Top 100 and Close to 50k Views for Free Minds Free Lines

Let me post this milestone
for Free Minds Free Lines before that current rank below for Top Blogs Ph dips
any lower. This blog is getting
closer to 50,000 views and was able to reach the top 100 blogs for TopBlogs.com.ph
(Personal blogs category) in the past few days (see image screenshot below).
Although it lasted for only a few days, I am already thrilled that this blog
was even able to reach such a feat.

50,000 views reached!

Free
Minds Free Lines Current Status on Stats which Matter

This blog is on a PR 1
status. That’s not the bottom as there’s page rank 0. Global rank as per
Alexa.com is at 1.8 M something. Hey, it was at 1.9 or so a few weeks back so
there’s an improvement. That’s also already noteworthy for a meek blog as this
considering the fact that there are billions of websites in the world. For local
rank, there’s no data yet. Number of linking sites is just a little over 50. So
100 should be a good goal. The links are manually placed because I don’t want
to pay for a service (link building) I can actually perform. Problem is, I
barely have time to do so. I actually hired a popular SEO company but I didn’t
get the results I wanted. The whole ordeal deserves a separate post.

As for page views, it’s getting closer to 10,000 per month (which is also another goal) with every month passing by. The highest
number of views recorded for this blog only started these past few months as
the number of content also increases and as the domain name matures. As a blog or
site grows older and the number of posts grow, so is the rank. A higher rank means
better chances of landing in search engine results. This of course leads to
more views. There are other factors for search engine rank of course, such as keyword
selection, but that’s another story. You may also target other sources of
traffic including social media and email subscribers.

My
Goal

My goal was actually to
reach the top 100 even for a day but this blog received the #73 rank. When I first
submitted my blog to TopBlogs.com.ph, my blog often showed an empty rank number
because it was always at the very bottom of the list. Only the top 1000 are
ranked. I’ve seen progress with these months gone by and this blog’s rank is
rising slowly.

With #73 showing, I took a
screenshot when it was still showing such a number recently. I hope that this
blog consistently remains in the top 100 soon. As for page views, I have a
specific target goal and it’s getting closer to that daily. It’s nothing phenomenal.
In fact, my objective is actually only humble. I’m still a struggling poor
blogger anyway so nothing changes.

Even my other goals in
terms of number of posts, links, page rank, global rank, earnings, and so on are
modest. It’s better to have a more realistic target so you can surely achieve
it. That way, you won’t be disappointed in case you’re unable to attain it. But
once you’ve reached the lowly objective, you can slowly move on to greater
heights. But still, the next target should be achievable.

Like for example, you have
only 20 something number of posts, your target should be to reach a total of
100 posts. When you’ve reached the goal, you can slowly increase the total
number of posts in a slow increment such as 250 (I don’t even have 200), 500,
750, 1000 and so on. That’s a lot of posts but really, the top blogs have
thousands of posts under their name.

How
Many Blog Posts Should You Publish Daily/Weekly/Monthly?

Speaking of posts, if you
are blogging and have the intention for your blog audience or reach to grow (I
hope so, otherwise you’re blogging for yourself with an online diary you alone
will read ;), these are the recommended number of posts you should publish
depending on your objective:

Numerous posts daily – maximum growth
potential

One post per day – steady growth

2 to 3 times weekly – slow growth

Less than 2 times per week – even slower
growth

The latter is suggested for those who are
only maintaining blogs as a hobby and have no intentions of growing a reader
network. As for me, I started out under the last bracket for the longest time
as far as I can remember. Then I moved up to the third on the list. I am still
struggling to be under the second group but I’m nowhere close to the first range
yet. How about you?

TopBlogs.com.ph

TopBlogs.com.ph by the way
is the number one blog and website directory in the Philippines. You’d find
sites and blogs from various categories being listed on the site. So if you are
a Filipino based blogger or site owner based anywhere in the world, you may
submit your blog to this directory for recognition and greater exposure.

As for Free Minds Free
Lines, this blog has a long way to go. As we say it in the local tongue, “marami ka pang kakaining bigas.” But
with the way things are going, there sure are better days ahead.
